| Old Time Favorite... |
 These are straight from the side of the box and super simple! Here is a link to the recipe. In all honesty, I think I used the off brand...Crispy Rice, but honestly I love that you can really use just about any cereal you like! The kids bust me on the off brand, but eat them just the same. I did use Earth Balance instead of butter. That is all I had to change. I know the picture is kind of washed out, but I think it adds to the retro feel of the bars!Labels: bars |

| Light and Fluffy... |
 Pancakes can be kind of tricky at home. Getting the just right fluffiness that you get from your favorite breakfast place is not that easy, but these came out so light and fluffy...you can have your favorites without the stomach ache now! My littlest one, Max, had a breakfast request not too long ago and I was happy to jump in the kitchen for this one! These came together in no time and we were very happy after this meal!
Buttermilk Pancakes
1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
1/2 cup White Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup soy buttermilk (1 TBSP lemon juice + enough light soy milk to make 1 cup)
1 tsp light Smart Balance, melted
1/4 cup liquid egg substitute
Lightly spoon both flours into measuring cup and level. Combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients. Pour wet mixture with the dry mixture. Stir until combined. Poor batter onto a hot nonstick griddle or skillet that has been coated with cooking spray. Flip pancakes when little bubbles star to form on top and the edges look cooked. And enjoy!
This made 9 pancakes for me (I used 1/4 scoop).

| Sweets 100!!! |
I was looking around, as I usually do, and came across the Sweets 100 list at Veggie Girl's blog. I found this one to be quite interesting because sweets are sometimes the hardest to get right going dairy free (and healthy). I like the idea behind this one because it gives me some ideas on things I need to start working on! Besides, I think it is fun to see what people have tried! So, here is mine!
First, here are the rules:
1.) Copy this list into your site, including the instructions!
2.) Bold all of the sweets you've eaten--or make them a different type color.
3.) Cross out any of them that you'd never ever eat. (I will leave mine in regular type)
4.) Consider anything that is not bold or crossed out your "To Do" List.
5.) Optional: Post a comment here linking to your results--or just post a comment letting us know how many you've tried, or what you're going to try next!

| Sausage and Peppers... |
| It does not happen often, but sometimes I have to go for the quick and easy. This was one of those times! The illustrator is always on the look out for new and different options for me when it comes to faux meat products. I think, more than anything, he gets a kick out of seeing how far I will go not to eat meat, but still get my daily protein allowance! So, he was at the store and decided to pick up a package of Tofurkey Italian Sausages for me. I am always a little apprehensive when it comes to eating prepackaged meat substitutes. Honestly, these were pretty good. They have a little kick to them and a nice sun dried tomato flavor. So, I decided to brown a sausage with some peppers and onions. This was a really good and quick meal! My only real complaint with a lot of prepackaged foods is that they are way too high in fat and calories. I avoid them most of the time, but when you need something quick it is always nice to have things like this on hand! Labels: product reviews |
